“Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who briefly led the Republican presidential race before his campaign began an extended public implosion, told his supporters in a statement Wednesday afternoon that he does not see a “path forward” and will not attend Thursday’s debate in Detroit.
Carson, however, did not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, he said in the statement that he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, just outside Washington.
“I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results,” the statement said. “However, this grassroots movement on behalf of ‘We the People’ will continue. Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations.””
I prefer Carson to every other candidate except Trump. He is a good man.
I read his statement on his website, and no where does it say “I am suspending my campaign”.
He says he will not be in the debate. After all, Kelly and the establishment Trump haters on FOX such as Kelly “moderating” the debate, all they do is read outrangeous statements to Trump attacking his character in the guise of “questions” and then try to formulate the “debate” such that Rubio and Cruz then attack Trump with lies or insults, they totally ignore Carson.
So why even be there? FOX debates are nothing but “stop Trump” agendas, their management has been totally exposed in the NYT article and the RNC should demand no debate if Kelly is a moderator.
I look on Drudgel no reference to anything about Carson suspendiny ... maybe he will, but I will wait. And the radio news at the top of the hour (KSFO S.F.) just before Savage reported Carson not attending the debate but he has NOT said he is droppung out.
So I am waiting.
From earlier today, take a shot and run away.-
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is at the bottom of most current GOP presidential polls, but he said Saturday he doesn’t believe Republican voters are so “dense” as to nominate the current front-runner, Donald Trump.
This man has my respect and affection. Not many candidates can claim that. God bless this gentleman.
Good man. Hope to see him again.
Sucks, and I mean that. Decent intelligent people can’t advance in our political cesspool. I hope Trump picks him for veep.
He would be a perfect counterbalance.

Ha, ha, ha. Not this stuff again. It wasn’t funny the first time Ted.
Does he endorse Trump? The only candidate who stood up for him.
Well done, Doctor Carson.
You ran with grace and class
Better late than never, Ben!
If anyone other than Trump retweets his story, it is a dirty trick.
